I saw the original, I realize, under the name Force Majeure. It was okay. Didn't run out and buy it. I feel that way frequently about foreign films other than English-speaking. I think many times some things are lost in translation.

Original movie title ”Tourist”. Director Ruben Östlund is a skier/boarder who did a couple of seasons in the French Alpes. Has made some ski films, ”Free Radicals” the most sucessful. I thought Tourist/Force Majeure was pretty interesting and I don’t think the ”rescue” scene should be literally taken, it’s almost like a dream. Can’t really see where this version will with that cast, perhaps it will surprise?

No worries - just send out Tormund Giantsbane for the rescue.
